This places was awesome! Everything you need; simple and cozy. We enjoyed the beach on many days throughout our week stay. The sand beach and the crystal clear water was such a perk. Our dog loved it! If you have small kids this would be a perfect get away that’s safe to play in the water. Very shallow all the way until the end of the dock. Made for many days of running splashing fun. Bellaire is a quaint town with many gems. Lots to do near by: restaurants, wineries, breweries, shopping, hiking, and a ton of markets. Thank you Tracy! We will be back. :D

The Wet Nest was a great, cozy home for a few days! Tracey is a wonderful host, very nice and helpful, and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. If you are traveling with a larger group just be prepared that although there are many beds, they are fairly close together so get comfortable with the people you travel with haha!! It’s a wonderful view of the water and a great yard, our dogs loved that part the most!

This is a great space for a couple (and a dog) when visiting Traverse City. It’s a small space but has everything you’d need. A quick drive into the city and the surrounding areas. Was very clean and convenient for us, and we were happy to be able to use the fire pit. Tracey was quick to communicate and included some awesome welcome treats for us. Would definitely recommend if you don’t need to be right downtown.

Wonderful experience! Tracey was great for questions and made us feel welcomed as soon as we arrived. The teacup inn is as advertised and the area is close enough to downtown to enjoy traverse cities many offerings, but far enough away to enjoy nature, kayak, and have a fire. There is not a fence for your pup, but ours did enjoy being able to explore out back even on her leash. Would definitely stay again!
